Australia liberating itself from Facebook could create a new productivity boom. If there are any FB features at all worth having, an enterprising Australian could build a one-off service in an afternoon. If they doubled down just walked away, I would consider moving to a country with such an enlightened culture.
What are they going to miss? Doom scrolling middle school acquaintances profiles for hints they have finally earned comeuppance for some forgotten 7th grade slight? Gifs of corny jokes that didn't merit a bumper sticker? Working their school districts parents association like it's game of thrones?
I don't think that if people detached from it, given everything we know about it now, that people will return to it if it's gone for a month.

- motohagiography 6y agoI'd say because they're not google. I'd be surprised if Google ever invents/produces another successful consumer product.
